Important Note: This crate is still a work in progress and is not ready for consumption.
MD4 is a cryptographic hash function designed by Ronald Rivest in 1990. It’s considered to be broken in terms of security, but has been historically used in various applications including:
- The NT LAN Manager (NTLM) security protocols in Microsoft Windows.
- The File Verification feature in the BSD UNIX operating system.
- Secure communication protocols like Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure Shell (SSH), Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), etc.
This crate implements MD4 as part of the RustyShield project.
